Curious/Amazed/Shared

You’ll enjoy this You Tube video of our whale watching trip.  Wow!

The Week that Was

My 2016 mantra is simple:

  1. Stay Curious.
  2. Be Amazed.
  3. Share about it.   It’s pretty simple. It’s who I am.

At age 60, I am committed to remaining a curious soul.  I also wish to be amazed by the world around me.  Amazed. Not cynical or bored. Amazed.

Then I have this deep desire to share stories.  It’s part of my DNA. It’s who I am.

Each Saturday I share photos and notes from the past week.  This week truly was amazing. I crossed several items off my bucket list and was privileged to see a new part of the world.

Our son Terry, his wife Sara, and our granddaughter Emma moved to the Boston area.  DeDe and I traveled along from North Carolina to New England.  You’ve never had fun until you drive a moving van through New York City at 3 am.

I’ve always loved Walden by Henry David Thoreau.  Terry and Sara live about half an hour from Walden Pond.  I took my dogeared copy to the spot where Thoreau lived and wrote.

 

My copy of 'Walden' was a gift from my Uncle Bill Iles in 1972.

Going whale watching in the Atlantic was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
